Fire Fist Ace: This strange fire that has become an essence in front has the characteristics of both Mera-mera Fruit and Dark Fruit at the same time?
Lucas: Yeah! A magical flame containing various rules. Swallowing and absorbing is also a kind of rule of heaven and earth.
Whitebeard: That magical flame is stronger than Devil Fruit! In addition to the most basic Mera-mera Fruit ability, it also has other regular abilities.
Doflamingo: That's not necessarily true! Although Mera-mera Fruit's abilities are good, the potential of Logia Devil Fruit abilities is limited. If Paramecia Devil Fruit is well developed, The logia user can easily handle.
Shiki the Golden Lion: What's the use of abilities and characteristics? Strength is the most important thing. This strange fire, which has become an essence, can even level our pirate world without using any power of rules.
Pirate King Roger: That's right! It doesn't matter how many abilities you have, your own strength is the most important thing. People like us without any ability can still have great strength.
Fire Fist Ace: Group Leader already has the ability of Mera-mera Fruit. Do you want to devour the Nihility Devouring Flame now?
Lucas Nihility Devouring Flame? The Nihility Devouring Flame is not bad, but the energy it contains is what I need. The Nihility Devouring Flame, and the energy contained in it is much larger than the Ten Tails in my body.
Uchiha Madara: Is absorbing the Heavenly flame the same as absorbing Ten Tails? Will it bring a huge increase in one's own strength?
Lucas: That's right! Devil Fruit doesn't have this kind of improvement in its own power, and absorbing the Heavenly Flame has the same drawback as absorbing Ten Tails—the consciousness contained in the Heavenly Flame will resist.
Lo Pei: Can I deal with this Nihility Devouring Flame? Although the power of magic is powerful, it may not be enough to face this kind of monster.
Lucas: I want to use magic to strip away the consciousness of the Nihility Devouring Flame. This is a bit risky! But it doesn't matter, I have other means.
Lucas smiled slightly. The powerful force imprisoned the Nihility Devouring Flame, and took him directly to the dark dimension of the Marvel world.
"Soul stones, mind stones, the power of the phoenix, the authority to dominate the dark dimension—with these, the magic that strips consciousness is no longer necessary!"
Lucas smiled slightly. The power of the rules of the dark dimension crashed down, and chains of dark energy condensed to tightly bind the man who had been transformed by the emptiness.
"What is this place?"
Hun Mie Sheng was frightened. The powerful black flame was burning on him, trying to swallow the dark energy and burn it up.
"It's useless!. I can control the power of this world. Is your strength enough to fight the dark dimension? If not, then you should lie down and die!"
Lucas chuckled lightly, and an illusory figure was pulled out from Hun Mie Sheng's body, which was the conscious body of Hun Mie Sheng. The Nihility Devouring Flame that lost their souls turned into jet-black flames exuding the power of swallowing, suspended in the void of the dark dimension.
[CHAT GROUP]
Xiao Xuan: Group Leader, do you want to refine the Nihility Devouring Flame? This flame is very powerful, and defeating it is completely different from refining it.
Uchiha Madara: What's the difference? It has been deprived of consciousness, can it still resist?
Xiao Xuan: Even without sentience, a Heavenly Flame's instincts will naturally resist being refined. You should understand— the Nihility Devouring Flame ranks second among all flames in the Dou Qi. There's only one in existence. The world itself doesn't dare allow a second to be born.
Senju Tobirama: Seriously? You guys travel across realms and even gather six peak Dou Shengs at once—yet you're worried about two Nihility Devouring Flames showing up?
Whitebeard: It might be tied to the laws of the world. In our world, no two identical Devil Fruits exist, much less two people with the same Devil Fruit powers.
Lucas: The Dou Qi doesn't allow two Nihility Devouring Flames. That's likely a world law. But saying the entire world "fears" the appearance of two… now that's exaggerating. After all, several Dou Dis—each strong enough to crush a Nihility Devouring Flame with a finger—could exist at the same time!
Xiao Xuan: Exactly. The Nihility Devouring Flame and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame—ranked second and third among the Heavenly Flames—are undeniably dangerous. If only one of them can exist in the Dou Qi world, it's likely due to the laws of the world itself. The fact that the Demonic Lotus Flame once devoured a peak Dou Sheng is undeniable proof of its threat.
Xiao Xuan: But let me make this clear—destroying a Heavenly Flame and refining one are two very different things. To destroy it, you just need to be stronger. But to refine it, you must completely suppress it. Resistance and devouring are part of a Heavenly Flame's instinct. Even if you manage to destroy the flame during the refining process, there's no guarantee it won't retaliate before it goes down.
Xiao Xuan: Take the Demonic Lotus Sage, for instance. He successfully refined the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. But when he grew old and his strength waned, the flame turned on him.
Uchiha Madara: That reminds me of the Ten Tails. As long as the Jinchūriki is strong, everything's under control. But once their strength falters, the power inside them starts to rebel.
Lucas: Relax! That kind of issue won't happen to me. You guys still don't understand just how powerful I truly am in the Dark Dimension!
The flame of the Phoenix Power burned on him, and the surging dark energy also began to surge, transforming the Nihility Devouring Flame together. Relying on his powerful authority and power, Lucas easily absorbed the Nihility Devouring Flame.
Not only that, relying on the home field advantage, Phoenix Force left a strong spiritual imprint on the Nihility Devouring Flame, ensuring that it cannot give birth to consciousness that would rebel against Lucas.
Xiao Xuan: No way? Nihility Devouring Flameis so powerful, how could it be so easily absorbed by you?
Lucas: Why not? I told you, you don't understand how powerful I am here. Not to mention a Nihility Devouring Flame—even if Ancient Emperor Tuo she came, it would be useless!
[BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVENS WORLD]
Lucas, who appeared again, blocked Hun Tiandi who wanted to support the clan. When he raised his hand, black flames enveloped the Emperor, blocking his way.
"Nihility Devouring Flame?"
Hun Tiandi looked at the black flames around him, his pupils shrank, and he glanced at Lucas with a dreadful look on his face. "I didn't expect you to refine the Nihility Devouring Flame so quickly. Who are you? Xiao Xuan from outside? You were resurrected?"
Lucas laughed: "Correct answer!"
Hun Tiandi said slowly: "We don't have to fight to the death, do we? Our Hun Clan has huge energy, and cooperation is the best choice for us!"
Lucas chuckled: "Cooperation? Sorry, you're not worthy of it!"
A powerful force imprisoned the space. Lucas brought Hun Tiandi to the dark dimension. Through the battle with Xiao Xuan, Lucas had already experienced the peak fighting power of Dou Sheng. Lucas had no interest in fighting the patriarch of the Hun Clan.
"Why can't it absorb this dark energy, what is this place?"
After Hun Tiandi appeared in the dark dimension, he immediately noticed the huge and pure dark energy around him and tried to absorb and control it, but found that he could not.
"It's useless!"
"All the energy here is under my control, and you don't have the strength to snatch it from me."
Lucas smiled, and a tidal wave of dark energy surged from his hand.
Hun Tiandi's face showed despair, and he unleashed one powerful attack after another, trying to rush out of there. However, within the dark dimension, his resistance seemed weak and ineffective.
The spatial force around him was sealed. The energy in his body was no longer replenishing, and every attack he launched was instantly devoured by the dark energy swirling around him. Trapped and desperate, Hun Tiandi's body began to expand like an overinflated balloon—he was preparing for self-destruction to shatter the prison that confined him.
"This must be an independent space," he thought quickly, eyes narrowed. "It's similar to the pocket dimensions our Hun Clan creates… but there's definitely a powerful dark array embedded within. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to manipulate space and energy so freely."
His gaze flickered coldly.
"He must have devoured the Nihility Devouring Flame. His strength is drawn from both the array and this dark dimension. But if I self-destruct, the force of a peak Dou Sheng's explosion should be enough to tear this place apart. My soul can escape in the chaos."
Resolute, Hun Tiandi made his move. He knew his body would be obliterated, and that would deal a serious blow to his power—but so long as his realm remained intact, he could eventually reconstruct his form. There was no other choice.
With a deafening roar, Hun Tiandi's body detonated, unleashing catastrophic energy. Yet to his horror, the explosion failed to tear through the dark space. The oppressive energy of the array held firm.
"Done already? What a pity. You haven't even begun to experience true despair."
Lucas stepped through the aftermath of the explosion, casually waving away the dust and chaos like it were nothing. A mischievous smirk curved his lips as he stood before Hun Tiandi's flickering soul.
"As expected of a peak Dou Sheng. The energy stored within you is tremendous."
He lifted his hand slowly, voice calm yet filled with eerie satisfaction.
"Don't worry—it won't go to waste. Both your soul and that explosive energy will serve a greater purpose. They'll become nourishment for the growth of the Dark Dimension."
Dark energy surged from Lucas' palm like black fire, spiraling toward Hun Tiandi's soul. With no body to resist and no strength to fight back, the soul was quickly enveloped. He was absorbed into the darkness, his essence devoured and fused with the dimension itself.
Even in destruction, Hun Tiandi's power did not vanish. Instead, it was forcefully harvested—his violent energy fueling the very domain that had become his grave. His attempt to break free had only made the Dark Dimension stronger.
